Its either something to do with nail varnish or shes from a part of scotland that wast too good at tempering the steel on their coat hangers.

google didnt help me, maybe if you ask her what part of Scotland shes from ?

I have heard the saying "your coats on a shoogly (wobbly) nail"

Maybe it's a derivative of that, if so I would rush out and buy her something g nice :-)

I cannot give an accurate linguistic justification for this, I just have a feeling that your "missus" thinks you spend too much time on your laptop.

Hendrik's suggestion for next action would seem advisable.
